Does City of South Daytona have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2013. The violations listed here began between September 1991 and July 2013. By type: 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived and 2 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
